Problems solved by technology

Handling this prodigious amount of data and retrieving selected portions of this data for processing purposes (e.g., for effecting analysis of the microparticles) is problematic.
In addition, the mere storage of such a vast amount of data presents issues of considerable difficulty.

Embodiment Construction

[0044]Throughout the following detailed description (including the Appendix), similar reference characters refer to similar elements in all Figures of the drawings.

[0045]In the way of general comments, as is noted in the Background, FIGS. 4A through 4F are representations of the electronic image plane of the camera 26. The image plane has a width dimension (“W”) extending in the positive X-direction of seven (7) pixels (0, 1, 2, . . . 6) and a height dimension (“H”) extending in the positive Y-direction of eight (8) pixels (0, 1, 2, . . . 7). The decimal numeric value in each of the pixel locations shown in these Figures numerically quantifies the intensity of the scattered radiation that is visually depicted in corresponding pixels on respective visual images of FIGS. 3A through 3F.

[0046]The visual and numeric renderings of FIGS. 3 and 4 are presented to facilitate an understanding of the operation of the various aspects of the present invention. However, it will be appreciated tha...

Abstract

A digital representation of an image produced on an electronic image plane by light scattered from one or more substantially spherical microparticles at each of a predetermined number (Q) of illuminating wavelengths is created. For each of the N pixels in each image an associated Image Intensity Data Array containing Q values is created. In one embodiment the resulting data structure is an inclusive collection of Pixel Records from each pixel in the image. In a second embodiment a select set of S number of Image Intensity Data Arrays is chosen. Each Image Intensity Data Array in the select set has at least one intensity value that exceeds a predetermined analog threshold. A Pointer Array containing N values is also created. The Pointer Array correlates the position on the electronic image plane of the pixel associated with each Image Intensity Data Array in the select set with the order of selection of that data array into the select set.
